Abundance is not something you can acquire. It is SOMETHING you tune into.

Our human need to accumulate things prevents us from tuning into the blessings right in front of us, in THIS PRESENT MOMENT.

All the things that we must own, come to own us. We waste the precious energy of the now by looking at our lives as lacking in some way.

And the scarcity mentality that creates these thoughts will ensure that the objects and situations we desire are always out of reach.

We cannot hope to lose weight if we are thinking about being fat. We cannot gain wealth when we are focusing on our dwindling bank balances. We cannot find love if we are fixated on thoughts that we are unworthy.

Put your energy on the richness and the fullness of the now. See yourself as being enough and having enough in this moment.

Count your blessings and express your gratitude to the Universe for all you do have. When you do, you will become a magnet for abundance.

Trust me… The right people and circumstances will just start popping up. Try it and let me know if you start attracting blessings xxx Chef MM
